Hi, in a hot/cold throne setup, does the hot node need to have its wallet unlocked at all times to get rewards (cold can be turned off after successful launch of throne)? I'm trying to set up a throne in hot/cold because I heard if running a throne directly from hot node only, the wallet must be unlocked so it's not safe?
No, once your throne is started you can close your local wallet. There is no need to keep it unlocked either.
I see, I can close the local wallet (on Windows machine) anytime, and I should keep the hot wallet (on raspberry pi masternode in my case) locked at all times as well. On the raspi I am actually running crown-qt so I can see the things visually.
Thank you.
